Michael Taylor and the Alchemy of Design: The Diana Dollar Knowles Collection

Probably the most famous Californian interior designer ever lived, Michael Taylor exemplified what California living is all about. He is mostly known for white over-sized furniture that your parents had that perhaps you hated. Love him or despise him, he definitely had a look to his design which was extremely influential even to today.

On October 22, 2013, Christie's auction house will auction off Diana Dollar Knowles collection. This collection was put together by Michael Taylor for Mrs Knowles who is a San Franciscan socialite of the bygone era. She is known to be a generous supporter of Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, San Francisco Ballet, and San Francisco Opera.
